Description
A basement tonkatsu restaurant three minutes from Ginza Station that describes itself as the first tonkatsu specialist to open in Ginza. Set meals come with rice, miso soup and pickles, and the rice is refillable; single items can be combined into a set and portions adjusted on request.
Set meals run from ¥1,950 to ¥4,600 and a katsudon is ¥1,400, as listed by the restaurant in April 2024. The founder had trained as a pharmacist and used that knowledge to develop the house tonkatsu sauce, which is also sold to take home.
